Most non-life insurers and many creditors use regressions, more specifically Generalized Linear Models (GLM), to price their liabilities. One limitation with GLMs is that interactions between predictors are handled manually, which makes finding interactions a tedious and time-consuming task. This increases the cost of rate making and, more importantly, actuaries can miss important interactions resulting in sub-optimal customer prices. Several papers have shown that Gradient Tree Boosting can outperform GLMs in insurance pricing since it handles interactions automatically. Insurers and creditors are however reluctant to use so-called ”Black-Box” solutions for both regulatory and technical reasons. Tree-based methods have been used to identif...
